Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and Bridges

A Crown is used to entirely cover or "cap" a damaged tooth.

Besides strengthening a damaged tooth due to decay, a fracture or a very large restoration, a crown can also be used to improve its appearance, shape or alignment.

We can place crowns on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function. Our dentists can get artistic with porcelain or ceramic crowns as they can be matched to the colour of your natural teeth giving it that finishing touch. Other materials include gold and metal alloys, acrylic and ceramic. These alloys are generally stronger than porcelain and may be recommended for back teeth. Porcelain bonded to a metal shell is often used because it is both strong and attractive.

Our dentists may recommend a crown to:

Replace a large filling when there isn't enough tooth remaining
Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
Restore a fractured tooth
Attach a bridge
Cover a dental implant
Cover a discoloured or poorly shaped tooth
Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment


Dental bridges offer several benefits. They can restore your natural smile and your ability to properly speak and chew. They can distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth. Bridges will also help to maintain the shape of your face and prevent your remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
